BBC News - Covid in Scotland: Tighter rules will be used to decide on levels
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-56237471Maybe if the powers that be read it often enough the lightbulb will go off that the WHO advice is out of date and therefore irrelevant as it doesn't take any vaccines into account.

So, basically most lower league grounds...
It isn’t just lower league grounds.

There are too many minky folk that don’t wash their hand enough. The Raith V Falkirk game where it was being announced that the players wouldn’t be shaking hands due to the risk of passing on covid, there were still people walking out the toilets without washing their hands. I think supermarkets might stick with it, because it will be good PR.If it forces clubs to provide hot water and soap so people can wash their hands properly that will be a good thing. Facilities are sadly lacking at most clubs.

There's a bit of a flap on and we're all having to play it by ear.
Just in case this COVID thing hasn't cleared by August, what would your plan be for next season?
We shouldn’t be playing it by ear. There should have been clear rules laid out at the start of the season about what happens in the event of disruption.
Other sports manage it. Cricket has a system called Duckworth Lewis that determines how much play is left in an individual match in the event of disruptions (a frequent occurrence). It’s a prescribed formula that says if x amount of time is lost after y amount of play we then use z amount of play to complete as much of the game as possible to arrive at a result. It also has a clear definition of the minimum amount of play that has to be achieved to constitute a match.
Extrapolating a cricket match to a football season something along those lines could be developed to say if we lost x weeks/months we lose y games from the end of the fixture list.
Will never happen though. Football is stuck in the dark ages and the clubs have their heads up their arses.

I don’t get this sudden desire to wear masks and wash your hands everytime you enter or exit a premises.
We didn’t do these things 18 months ago and weren’t disease ridden. Why is it suddenly a necessity post pandemic.
Sanitising in hospitals makes sense. There has been various instances of outbreaks of things in hospitals over the years that led to stricter hand sanitising regimes. Don’t recall any of these allegedly being airborne though. Apart from that keeping these restrictions in place makes no sense.

They don't need to know that for at least the next six or seven weeks. What is important is who we play next week.
So go into the rest of the season, playing games back to back, with no idea of when the season is planned to end?
Not having a plan/structure in place at the start of the season created this mess. If both sides can't reach an agreement what happens then?

I'd no idea who Lauren Gilmour was so I googled her and this is the first hit I got.
No excuse for the actions of the weekend but it's something.

Strathclyde's finest were quoted as saying they found themselves in a difficult situation at both Saturday and Sunday gatherings.
Just wondering what the difficulty was ?
They couldn't get off shift to officially join in.

Any increase is more likely to come from the 95%+ that attended house parties over the weekend.
It was actually more than that. you're the only person that wasn't invited.

Except he didn't say it was their fault.
Pointing out that Statement FC didn't help the situation by saying nothing isn't the same as claiming that it's their fault. That shouldn't be a particularly difficult concept to get one's head around.
Rangers asking fans not to do what they did would have made absolutely zero difference to the scenes yesterday. There is absolutely nothing they could have done.

Yeah, for hospitalisations. Case reporting in general not impacted was my understanding?
If he said that I missed it. Only so long I can listen to him without drifting away.

Wasn't that just hospitalization numbers ?
nope. they were only including positive tests from NHS labs in their figures, not lighthouse labs.

And 5% positivity.
Something definitely dodgy going on.Surely a single day rise is simply a blip. Would need to be a sustained 2 or 3 day rise before you would start to question it ?

Hawd on. Did I catch Swinney right there? GG&C have been fudging their hospital figures this entire time?
Thats what it sounded like. They hadn't been including positive tests from lighthouse labs. Only tests from their own testing programme.

The way you are talking you seem to think Sturgeon was sitting in a bunker watching it all unfold on CCTV while instructing her "troops on the ground" how to control that situation.
The police dealt with that situation today no differently to the way they have dealt with supporters of those two cheeks for decades, they can basically do what they want, it's mob rule plain and simple. Always has been, always will be. Clearly their mob trumps the law but that is no different today in lockdown to anytime in the past 40 years or so but to advocate that this means the rest of us can do what we want is basically setting out moral compass in line with the knuckle daggers. Two wrongs must definitely don't make a right.You could surely understand the anger of anyone that either has been or will be fined for a covid violation though? Just for once think of something other than jumping to Sturgeon’s defence.
if these gatherings are truly as dangerous as the government would have us believe the police should be taking action. If they aren’t taking the correct action the government should be ordering them to. If they aren’t as dangerous as the narrative we shouldn’t be under a stay at home order. You can’t have it both ways.

Everything i’ve ever posted on p&b is in public domain so you assume whatever you want. I am my own person and my posts are entirely my opinion.
No need to be defensive. Things like knowing how many police cells are available in Glasgow would be something the vast majority of people wouldn’t know.
I wasn’t having a go at you.

I'm no lover of Rangers but to say they are responsible is ludicrous, in the same way Celtic weren't responsible for the demonstrations outside their stadium and the antics that entailed.
